dence. Dir. Drexel thought it would be a neat
and proper thing to turn this cottage, with all
its sppurtenances and sad reminders of is
sorrowful day. over to the veterans Of the late
war, and Mr.. Gantz came here prepared to
hand over the deed for the cottage. Only two
difficulties presented themselves in the way of
accepting tho gift: The National Encampment
is not an incorporated body, and it has no fund
available to apply to the care and preservation
of the cottage. The first of these objections
was referred to Department Commander Taint-
or, OF Connecticut, who is also Judge-Advoeate-
General on the National Staff. He said all
that was necessary was to appoint q number of
trustees, in whose names the deed could be
made out, or it might be made out to the Ma
tional officers and their successors. Regarding
the funds for the cottage, Mr.. Gantz said the
State of New York would attend to that the
Legislature would probably add few thou
sand dollars to the supply fund, which, with
the money received from the sale of souvenirs
and trinkets, will be sufficient to maintain the
cottage aud its surroundings in deservingly
good style.

GEN. GRANT.
How He TOOl a Smoke From a soldiers Pipe.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On the trip
from Grand Gulf 10 Vicksburg, my company,
u, 4th Iowa Cav had the advance one day
and Private Chas W. Lash was severely wounded
in fight at or near Raymond, Miss, and was
left in the hospital with other wounded. Soon
afterward a rebel bushwhacker came along
with his company and paroled all the wounded.
Lash, as soon rs he could travel, Joined the
regiment at Vicksburg, and was ordered TO re-
port TO Lieutenant who had charge Of pa
rolled prisoners.
The smart Lieutenant told him he would not
recognize his parole. rs the rebel who gave it
30 him was a bushwhacker, and ordered him TO
report 20 his company for duty. The Captain
told him il would not do for him to violate his
parole, and said he had better go and see Gen.
Grant about il. So Lash went 20 Grants head
quarters. Grant was busy at the time, but sent
him word by the guard TO wait and he would
see him. IN few minutes he was in the Gen.

erals tent and stated his case Grant talked
very kindly 10 him and asked about his
wounds, etc, and then said:
$50 the Lieutenant would not recognize
your parole. Well, Gen. Grant will" He
added that he thought that would make il all
right, and that some of those Lieutenants felt
more important than the Major-General.
As Lash started out of the tent Grant ac-
companied him, and saw one Of the soldiers
outside sitting on log smoking pipe. BE
stepped up TO him and said:
Young man, have you not smoked long
enough"
Taking the pipe he sat down in the group
to enjoy a smoke from the pipe Of private
soldier. is it any wonder that the SOL
diers loved Gen. Grant? He had time
while the cannon were laundering away al
Nicksburg, and while he had thousands OF
grave matters to call his attention, TO see that
his common soldiers were not mistTeated, and
TO sit down amongst them and chat and smoke
out of one Of their pipes.-WM. +. SMITH, Co.

Moses Wauyh's Collie.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIRUNE: One day in
the Fall of 1868, while we were engaged with
the Confederate cavalry at Jefferson, Va, Moses
Waugh was taken with a severe attack of collie.
He dismonted and was lying with his stomach
across fallen tree We fell back, leaving him
between the two lines in very exposed posi-
ton. Finally he was brought back to a con-
sciousness of his danger by rebel officer riding
up to him and ordering him to surrender at
the same time requesting him to hand up his
shooting-irons, which request was made strong
by the officer holding his own pistol in a dan
gerous attitude.
Waugh complied with the order as meekly as
possible, handing his carbine with the small
end toward the gallant Confederate. A twig
or something came in contact with the trigger,
and the result was an empty saddle. Waugh,
feeling better, mounted the horse and dashed
back into our lines. He was with us up TO the
evening of the oath of June, 1864, when he was
badly wounded in the leg at Charles City Cross
roads. i do not know where he is. if alive, but
will say that he was brave little Pennsyl-
vania Dutchman. We never knew him to fail
to do anything he undertook, except to make
dumplings out Of some cornmeal brought to
camp by our veteran forager, T. A. Reeder.-S.

simmon Story.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice an
account Of the part taken in the battle at Nash
vile, Tenn, by the Sd Tenn. and 25th Mich,
by John Savage, of the 25th Mich, and also
an account Of the same battle in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE of Dec. 8, by lgnatz Fauz, OF the 9th
Tenn, which calls TO my mind very wildly
the scenes which were Transporting % years
ago. Both comrades speak ia eulogizing
terms of the old First Brigade Second Divis-
ion, Twenty-third Corps, and especially the
three regiments above mentioned; but il seems
that they have forgotten that the l30th Ind.
always was on hand, from Resaca to Atlanta,
and at Nashville.
do not wish TO take from them the laurels
so justly earned, but one would infer from
reading the articles referred 10 that the 25th
Mich. and Sd and 9th Tenn. constituted the
First Brigade Of the Second Division. only
wish TO add TO what has already been said in
regard 10 the First Brigade, that the l30th
Ind. can justly claim share Of all the honors
won by the brigade after the battle of Resaca.
Comrade Savage does not say in his article
whether ii was during the first days fight al
Nashville or the second that the Sd Tenn
charged without orders ! would here state
that IL was on the morning Of the second day

Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. !:
About the first Of September, 1881, my wife
was taken with uterine hemorrhage. The best
Supplies the physician could prescribe did not
check ii, and she got more and more enfeebled.
She was troubled with Prolapsus Uteri, Leucor-
rh9a, numbness of the limbs, sickness of the
stomach and loss Of appetite purchased q
trial bottle of your Vegetable Compound. She
said she could discOrsr a salHtary effect from the
first dose. Now she is comparatively free from
the Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, sc. The
hemorrhage is very much better and is less at
the regular periods. Her appetite is restored,
and her general health and strength are much
improved. We feel that we have been ponder-
fully benefited, and our hearts are drawn out in
gratitude for the same and in sympathy for
other sufferers, for whose sakes we allow our
names to be used" G. w. EATON,
